Cranberry is a classic holiday flavor that pairs beautifully with the tangy kick of tequila. A spiced cranberry margarita blends cranberry juice, tequila, lime juice, and a dash of cinnamon or ginger, offering a festive and refreshing twist on a classic cocktail. Garnish with fresh cranberries and a sprig of rosemary for a stunning presentation.

Eggnog is the model Christmas drink, and serving it in martini form gives it an elegant twist perfect for your wedding. This cocktail combines rich eggnog with vodka, rum, and a sprinkle of nutmeg. It's creamy, indulgent, and sure to transport your guests into the holiday spirit. Serve it chilled in martini glasses with a dusting of cinnamon on top for a truly festive touch.
